Before making a proposal, please spend some time investigating / prototyping. The devil is in the details, and the feedback from Bazel, linker, and compilers has proven more convincing than our feeble human voices.
If you find a bug, please create an issue, and if you want to pick up a larger chunk of work (like exposing a new C++ interface in Go), please do the same for better visibility.
In the absence of documents, please do stick to the style you find in existing code. For Go, this is rather canonical, for C/C++, we have added .clang-format and .clang-tidy configurations to avoid major accidents.
Besides that, please keep in mind that this is not a golf course. Simple, and possibly repetitive code is favoured over ingenious meta tricks that do little more than make maintainance and debugging more difficult.
Please do sign your work certifying that you have the right to pass it on as an open-source patch. The rules are pretty simple: if you can certify the contents of the DCO document contained in this repository, then you just add a line to every git commit message:
Signed-off-by: Joe Smith <[email protected]>
using your real name. You can also add the sign off via git commit -s. Note
that every commit needs to have proper sign-off.
